Chapter 50
Wednesday Morning
East High School
Senior High Building
Senior Year Three Class
The Rooftop
Kelly was worried when he saw Malia wasn't in class, he thought she didn't come to school at all. He had to go to the junior high school building to ask Isabel about her.
Isabel made him know she is in school and he starts looking for her around the school till he found her on the rooftop.
Malia left home and came to school because she didn't want her mum and sister to be worried about her but still, she didn't attend class at all. Immediately, she got to school, she went to the rooftop crying profusely...
Kelly sighed and walked closer to her. When Malia heard the sound of a foot step, she starts cleaning her face so the person won't notice that she was crying.
"Don't bother crying because I saw it all," Kelly said and moved closer to her as he sat opposite her.
"Kelly," she muttered softly
"Continue crying, you don't need to stop at all, let it out, Malia," he paused as he watched her start crying profusely again.
"Let it out because if you don't, it won't come out in an ugly way, so you need to cry your eyes out" he added
He kept quiet watching her crying profusely. He didn't console her at all because he believes she needs it.
After a while, she starts cleaning up and sobbed.
"Are you done crying or do you want to continue," he asked bluntly
"Kelly, you are been harsh right now," Malia whispered but loud enough for him to hear.
"I doubt, I'm just saying the truth because you avoided class and came here crying," he paused," do you think that is the best,"
"I wish to attend class but I can't withstand their faces," she told him
"But avoiding them means you are a coward," he snapped
"I'm not a coward," she replied
"Then, behave like one,"
"I'm trying,"
"Try harder because your efforts aren't helping matters," he hissed
"So what do you want me to do," She asked
"Good question," he stopped and held her hand tightly in his own.
"Stand out for yourself, be the owner of your life because they betrayed you doesn't mean that you should begin to isolate yourself, they don't worth it,"
"Easier said than done," she sighed
"Yes but if you put it into Practice, it will work out, imagine you stand up for yourself, they will know that you don't care,"
"But it hurts,"
"Of course, it will surely hurt but they will never stop till they bring you down finish Malia," he said feeling sad
"Kelly, I'm not sure I can do this," she shook her head
"Why, you can do it,"
"I thought he loved me but it was all a lie,"
"I'm sorry for that but forget about him h doesn't worth it, Malia,"
"Yes, he doesn't," she nodded
"Remember who you were before, the Malia I know is always strong no matter who the person is or the circumstances, Malia please," he begged
"You are right, this isn't me, I will try to get myself back, Kelly,"
"That is the spirit," he laughed
"Thanks, Kelly for staying with me throughout everything, for believing me," she sniffed
"Not again," he smiled lightly
"Malia, you are more than a friend to me, you are my sister, the difference is that we aren't bearing the same surname and I will do everything for you to get justice, just remember you have me, always," Kelly told her
"Thank you," she hugged him
"Geez, Malia you are burning badly," Kelly hissed as they disengaged from the hug
"Noo, instead I'm building the fire I'm going to burn them one by one," She muttered
"I can't wait to watch their face when you show where their place is," Kelly said laughing
"Yes, I too can't wait to...,"
As she was talking, she stopped and slump unconsciously as Kelly held her immediately before she fall.
"Malia," he shook her but she didn't respond
"Malia, answer me,"
"Gosh, she is burning seriously, her temperature is high,"
"I have to take her to the school clinic for treatment immediately,"
He took her up in his arms and rushed to the school clinic with her in his arms.
"Geez, what is she eating, she as weight," He hissed
He got to the school clinic and dropped her immediately on an available bed as the doctor and nurses rushed towards her immediately treating her.
"She fainted while talking on the rooftop, I don't know what has happened to her, please do something," Kelly said catching his breath
"Sure, wait outside," the nurse told him and he stood outside waiting for their feedback.

After thirty minutes, The doctor told Kelly, Malia only needed rest because she had cried too much so that is what triggered her temperature to increase.
Kelly called Malia's mum about the recent update. Immediately, Elizabeth came to the school when she heard about it ignoring the important meeting that was going on.
Although, he didn't tell anything to the little girl, Isabel about what happen because he didn't want her to be sad.
Malia was sleeping when she came running inside. She said," Malia, where is my daughter,"
"Ma'am," Kelly called as he stood up from where he stood sat.
"Kelly... My baby," she sniffed silently as she moved closer to her and caresses her cheek.
"What happened," Elizabeth asked Kelly
"The doctor said it is nothing, that it was because she had cried too much and too much thinking," Kelly explained
"Ohhh, it is because of those b*tches," she cursed and sat down still caressing her cheek.
"Yes, she will be fine, she just needs a lot of rest," Kelly assured her
"Hmm, thanks son," Elizabeth smiled at him
"My pleasure, ma'am," he bowed
"When did the doctor say she is going to wake up," she asked
"He said anytime from now," he told her
"Oh ok...," She nodded
They both kept quiet and stare at her and all of a sudden, she moved be to hand.
"Malia," Elizabeth and Kelly both called her name together.
"Is my name that sweet," Malia said and opened her eyes.
"My baby," Elizabeth hugged her
"Mum," Malia said softly
"Thank God," Kelly sighed
"Where am I," She asked as she disengaged from her mum's embrace.
"The school clinic, you fainted," Kelly said with sarcasm and rolled his eyes
"Oh that is true," She nodded as she remembered all that happened.
"Thanks, Kelly," Malia thanked him.
"Don't mention," he replied smiling
"Why don't you allow me to take you home and have enough rest because this is 10:45 am," Elizabeth suggested
"No mum, what about my classes," She shook her head in disapproval.
"Like you were in class since morning," Kelly hissed
"Huh," Elizabeth quirked a brow
"What do you mean," she added
"Nothing mum," Malia shook her head nervously
"And mum is right for now, get enough rest and come back with full force," Kelly said
"Alright, I have heard I will go home for enough rest," Malia said and smiled
"Sure, let's go," Elizabeth said
"What about the doctor, won't we tell him about it," Malia frowned
"He told me you can leave anytime when you were sleeping," Kelly said and walked towards the door
"Oh," Malia said
"Yes, oh," he mocked
"I will see you tomorrow," He added
"Sure, bye," Malia told him as she got down from the bed," and thanks for bringing my bag,"
"Yes," he waved at her and walked out
"Let's go, dear,"
"Yes, Mum,"

Stewart's Mansion
Elizabeth came out from Malia's room. After they left the school, immediately after she got home, Elizabeth made sure she ate and take a nap. That is the reason why she is just coming outside her room.
"How is she," Morgan asked
She flinched when she heard his voice unexpectedly. She turned towards him and glared at him.
"What was that supposed to mean,"
"What,"
"Why will you catch me unaware, huh, if you are eager to toss me away at least let me get a divorce, I'm not ready to die yet," she said and hissed
"I'm sorry," he said calmly.
"What are you doing here," she asked
"It is my house, remember," he wanted to say but kept shut because he knows she isn't Elizabeth again but the Elizabeth he fell in love with.
"I heard about what happened to Malia," he said
"Malia," She scoffed," how,"
"I came to your office to see you but I was told you rushed to their school because she fainted," Morgan said softly
"Oh ok," she shrugged
"So how is she," he asked again," she is ok now,"
"Hmmm... Why are you even asking," she hissed
"She is my child,"
"Huh, your child," she scoffed," so now she is your child,"
"She has always been my child," he said
"Don't tell me you are worried about her, huh," she quirked a brow
"Of course, I am, as a father should be worried about his daughter, I'm truly worried," He said with an obviously worried expression on his face
"Really but can you talk to her like she is your child," Elizabeth asked and rolled her eyes.
"Yes... I mean ...," He stuttered
"You can't say right," she hissed
"Then, I doubt she is your child," Elizabeth hissed
"Why will you say that," he frowned
"You just lied,"
"No, I didn't, she has always been my child,"
"Did you ever show it that she is your child," she yelled
"The last time you did was when Isabel was 5 years old," she added
"Why are you even behaving like this, is it not that you just changed towards them recently," he said bluntly.
"Yes, I won't deny that and I regret it everyday but remember this that you are the reason why, I don't know why you are doing this," she said angrily
"I have no explanation, Elizabeth but it is for everyone's good," Morgan said softly
"I hope it is worth it,"
"It worth it," he paused and walked towards her then he held her hand, "so will you decide not to divorce me again,"
"Why won't I, there is nothing that can stop me," She snapped and removed his hand from his grip
"But I thought you have understood,"
"Understand what,"
"Morgan, till you make everything right, or else I won't forgive you," She told him
"Why am I even here talking to you," She hissed
"Because you are my wife," he said
"I'm not your wife because I will soon stop been a Stewart, get that into your f*ucking damn skull," she said
"Elizabeth....," He trailed off
"You came here for Malia right," she said and he nodded
"Then, go inside to meet her and talk to her if she is your child like you said," she said
"Huh,"
"Excuse me," she said and walked towards her room leaving him standing with his mouth opened in awe.
"This wasn't what I expected l, oh my God," he sighed and stared at Malia's door before going to his room too.
